Excursión ciclista de un día de Orth an der Donau a Viena

This easygoing cycling route takes you from the charming riverside town of Orth an der Donau all the way into the heart of Vienna. You’ll cover just over 33 km, mostly on smooth, paved paths, as you follow the scenic stretches along the Danube—prime territory for peaceful rides and scenic pit stops.

Orth an der Donau is known for its impressive castle and sits right on the edge of the Donau-Auen National Park, so don’t be surprised if you spot herons and wildflowers as you pedal out of town. Most of the way is dedicated cycleway, making this route great for both experienced cyclists and casual riders who just want to cruise.

Rolling into Vienna, you’ll notice the city’s skyline and perhaps even catch a glimpse of Stephansdom’s spire in the distance. The terrain is mostly flat with a gentle ascent halfway, so it’s friendly on the legs, too. In short: perfect for a relaxed day out, with culture, nature, and Austrian charm from start to finish.
